Part 9 Remember Me
"NAKUSHAAA" dutta wakes up with a start and stares at the empty room around! He could feel beads of perspiration streaming down his forehead as he could still hear his scream ring in his ears--NAKUSHA...dutta takes in a deep breath trying to catch on his senses...all of a sudden his mind had given him a name and somehow dutta felt a feeling of calmness as the name still repeated in his brain...the phone rings and dutta goes to pick it up and says an instant later--woh aise nahin maanega...tu ruk main baat karega uss saaley se! Dutta bangs down the phone and fiddling with the gun he picks it up in his hand from the sidetable and taking the phone in a hurry dials two digits wrong in the actual number and the PHONE RINGS IN PN...IN tasha's room! ( I knw kaafi dramatic and chance se aisa hoga lol but when it comes to dutta and naku...kuch bhi ho sakta hai ;) sahi kaha na? )
Naku feels her heart beat stop as the silence of room is broken by the ringing phone...tears flow down naku's eyes and with trembling hands she picks up the phone...SILENCE...AN INSTANT LATER Just as dutta is about to speak naku sobs--SAAB?!...DUTTA feels the ground under his feet give way.. .of all the voices...hearing this one he could never mistake it! It was the same girl's voice from the flashes he used to have and ofcourse the word Saab!...dutta remains silent as naku sobs--saab...main...main aapki nakusha!...baat nahin karogex mere se?...Dutta tightens the grip on his gun as... he felt dizzy... suddenly...he hears the door of his room flung open and in a confusion a disoriented dutta slams down the reciever again and finds himself staring blankly at a worried kala standing at the doorway...
Kala had heard dutta scream out naku's name and stunned she stood outside the door and then gathering her senses...she walks into the room and finds dutta standing with a gun in his hand...he was sweating and looked dazed and disturbed...and as kala saw him like that...all the memories of that dreadful night came back to kala's mind ...THAT NIght...it was almost a week since dutta had returned from the hospital...and with each passing day his condition was worsening...sleepless nights and nightmarish days with all sorts of unknown dreams were troubling him terribly...
And that night kala was finding it hard to sleep and soo she was sitting alone in the hall when she heard noises from dutta's room...kala had rushed in and found dutta in todd phod mode...he had broken almost everythng and anythng that came his way ...and as kala entered the room she froze as she saw dutta stand with a gun pointed to his forehead! His eys were closed and kala could see he was tired...worn out and desperate to get rid of himself by ending his unknown life!...a stunned kala had rushed upto him just in time and moved his hand...for the first time that day KALA WAS SCARED FOR HIS WELLbeing...AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SHE SLAPPED HIM TOO!
Once again as kala entered in listening to dutta scream out nakus name she saw him looking distressed and with a gun in his hand...kala drops the glass in her hand and rushes upto dutta and snatches away the gun shouting at him--yeh kya kar raha hai?...PAGAL HO GAYA HAI BHAU?!...(dutta remainr silent and dazed as kala makes him face her and says on) dekh...dekh meri taraf...tu...tu jaanta hai na ki mere liye tu...(kala sobs) tujhe kuch ho gaya toh main...main apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahin kar paaongi...
Dutta embraces kala's face and says-tayi...main theek hai...aur main jaanta hai ki main tere liye kya hai...tu...tu ro matt main khud ko chot nahin pahoncha raha tha...KALA LOOKS AT DUTTA as he wipes away her tears...and as she watches him she wondered howcome in all these years her hatred for him didnt let her appreciate and enjoy the care and tenderness he always bestowed upon her!...NExt U see dutta kneels by kala's side as she slept on the couch in his room as she feared leavng him alone...slowly after making sure that kala was asleep dutta gets up and goes to stand by the window...he stares at the moonlit night...there in patil niwas naku too stood by the window gazing at the moon...dutta takes in a deep breath and says--NAKUSHA...THERE NAKu enjoys the strong wind blowing through her hair and softly says--SAAB...the screen splits and u see dutta on one side...feeling the warmth of taking this newly found name from his past...and a sense of belongingness dawns onto him...and naku on the other feeling calm as her hope of finding dutta reached a new dimension.
The screen merges to focus on naku as u hear dutta's voice say in the background from his naku's side--~~ASHKON MEIN JAISE DHUL GAYE SAB MUSKURATEY RANG...RASTEY MEIN THAK KE SO GAYI MASOOM SII UMANG...DIL HAI KI PHIR BHI KHWAB SAJANEY KA SHAUK HAI...PATTHAR PAR BHI gulaab uganey ka shauk hai...BARSON SE YUN TOH EK AMAVAS KI RAAT HAI...ABB ISKO HONSla Kahun ki ZIDD KI BAAT HAI...DIL KEHTA HAI KI ANDHEREY MEIN BHI ROSHINI TOH HAI...MAANA KI RAAKH ho gaye umeed ke lau...ISS RAAKH MEIN BHI AAg kahin dabii toh hai!..
